one thing to do before you die
« on: March 08, 2012, 10:33:03 am »
I can't imagine how much fun this would be - couple of mates, few beers, one sunny afternoon and this.

Was going to set up a bridge swing as I have all the equipment, but not got round to it. Done smaller ones at work (well, wide pendulums on a more rigid rope) and you're right the tickle in your belly is brilliant - like a kid on a rollercoaster for the first time.

Here's an industrial version from a job I was on in 2005...

Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

Looks good fun, done quite a few "Flying fox" zip lines, bungee jumps and sky dives, life is short, try everything!

It does look really good fun! I've done zip and a small bungee and a few rope swings (also small) but one thing I would love to be able to try / do but personally don't see it happening is flysuit jumping

VoilĂ 



worth 5 mins of anyones time to watch

I simply can not stop watching this.

First stumbled across it in August last year when my wife and I had a couple of weeks in Canada and got talking to a couple who were on their way to the rockies.

I recently posted this on my facefook page:
